How Many years of street riding experience do you have?

[Bob Denman]

Hi Guys!
Sooooo... I think I'm trying to figure out if the Spyder Roadster is bringing new riders into our sport...Or is it a Lifestyle?? :dontknow:
How many of us are just getting started and how many of us have moved over from other motorcycles to these?
I've been gathering up street experience for a bit over thirty-five years, but rode the dirt since early childhood... Motors and handlebars just seem so right when they're put together!

2 yrs on a spyder, but more than 25 on a snowmobile.

0 until Spyder

You stopped sort of short in your poll. Where are the categories for 30, 40, or 50 years?

I've been riding on the street for over 50...and I have a long way to go to catch a few of our more seasoned members.

...First time I've ever even thought about designing a poll... pps:
I wanted to see how many of us were completely new, had maybe a little experience, some REAL wheel-time, and then those of us who have spent our lives immersed in this pasttime...

YEARS IN THE SADDLE ?

Scotty's right.....Again....since the vast majority of Spyder owner's (in the most recent poll ) were over 50 you should re-do and start over with higher numbers ...IMHO.......Mike.....:thumbup:

Hey Bob great poll, I have not been on a bike in over 20 years until last year when I got my rt limited. In 1998 I was in a accident on a drilling rig here at home and 6 operations later to fix my broken back biking was out of the question. When I saw the Spyder at the Motorcycle show I was in the dealer and bought the bike on the spot. I did ride but that was years ago its good to be back riding you have no idea:yes::yes::yes:

Well...the last time I was on a two wheeler with a motor was when I was a teenager...48 now and a year on the spyder..Many miles on a 4 wheeler and snowmobile, but thats not street rydin

I agree. I had a home built and a Whizzer in 1947. Assorted over the years, including the most powerful machine ever built, Harley Hummer.

Never had a street bike, I was smart enough to know I might get myself into a lot of trouble with one. However, growing up on/near multiple farms, I've had my fair share of ripping through the fields on dirt bikes, 3 wheelers, quads, snowmobiles. So I guess my poll vote has to be...new to this.
On a side note, the wife is in NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM a RISK TAKER(heck, she works in insurance) and she has taken right to the Spyder. I'll go out on a limb and say its bringing more people to the market. Thanks for letting us in!

We started riding Aug 2011 on a 2011 RT. Never rode before. Loving the ride of the Spyder!!!

The spyder is my first ryde, and I've had it almost a year. I rode on my husbands (2 up) befor the kids and now that he is back on 2 wheels I decided I wanted my own bike. But after a trip to the ER trying to learn on 2 wheels decided 3 wheels is the way to go.

 

[seansr917]

Just getting started myself, I wanted freedom and safety which the spyder provides for me. Never road the other guy!
